Palau Bans Live Reef Fish Exports, Bars Company After Regulatory Breach
Biodiversity Conservation, Anamua: Treasures of the Pacific Environment
Available Online
Palau has banned the export of live reef fish to protect its marine resources and biodiversity. This action follows concerns over the ecological impact of such exports, including the depletion of key reef species. At least one company involved in live fish export has been barred from operating in the country. The move reflects growing efforts in the Pacific to regulate the live fish trade and prioritize sustainable fishing practices.

2024
The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to increase site level management capacity for the protected areas of Palau. To increase capacity, The Nature Conservancy will provide support to the Protected Area Network Office under the Bureau of Environment of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Environment and Palau Conservation Society and Division of Maritime Security and Fish and Wildlife Protection under the Bureau of Public Safety of the Ministry of Justice of Palau.
Fisheries Learning Exchange, Pacific BioScapes Programme - Regional Activity
SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation
Available Online
2024
The Pacific BioScapes Programme is supporting the sustainable management of coastal ecosystems and species to support small-scale fisheries by local communities. To support these outcomes, a regional coral-reef fishery learning exchange and workshop to develop fisheries data analysis and species-based assessments will also take place. At the workshop participants from Palau, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia and Kiribati will discuss fisheries management issues and support the development of management guidelines.
Micronesia Ecosystem Score Cards, Pacific BioScapes Programme - Regional Activity
SPREP Publications, Biodiversity Conservation
Available Online
2024
The Pacific BioScapes Programme is strengthening regional and national decision-making processes for sustainable management and use of coastal and marine biodiversity by improving the use of information and communication technologies for data management and analysis. Under BioScapes, The Nature Conservancy is working directly with governments in the Marshall Islands, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap and Palau. Essential ecosystem monitoring metrics will be gathered to assess different aspects of coral reef ecosystems, including fish populations, reef health, benthic habitat, and macroinvertebrates.

Until recently,very little was known about the species diversity and occurrence of cetaceans in the Republic of Palau. A dedicated scientific investigation into the occurrence and distribution of island associated cetaceans in Palau was conducted in 2012 and 2012.
Lessons from Palau to end Parachute Science in International Conservation Research

Singeo, Ann

2022
Conservation science is having a reckoning with parachute science. In the parachute science models, scientists drop into a foreign country with preconceived notions, seeking to validate their assumptions without genuine engagement with local people, ideas, epistemologies, methodologies, and knowledges, and leave without giving back to the place from which they extracted.

This document is part of a technical report series on conservation projects funded by the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) and the Conservation International Pacific Islands Program (CI-Pacific). The main purpose of this series is to disseminate project findings and successes to a broader audience of conservation professionals in the Pacific, along with interested members of the public and students. The reports are being prepared on an ad-hoc basis as projects are completed and written up. In most cases the reports are composed of two parts, the first part is a detailed technical report on the project which gives details on the methodology used, the results and any recommendations. The second part is a brief project completion report written for the donor and focused on conservation impacts and lessons learned. The CEPF fund in the Polynesia-Micronesia region was launched in September 2008 and will be active until 2013. It is being managed as a partnership between CI Pacific and CEPF. The purpose of the fund is to engage and build the capacity of non-governmental organizations to achieve terrestrial conservation. The total grant envelope is approximately US$6 million, and focuses on three main elements: the prevention, control and eradication of invasive species in key biodiversity areas (KBAs); strengthening the conservation status and management of a prioritized set of 60 KBAs and building the awareness and participation of local leaders and community members in the implementation of threatened species recovery plans.

Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change Programme (PACC)

,

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP)

2007
For Pacific SIDS, the need for adaptation to climate change has become increasingly urgent. Long-term climate changes, including the increasing frequency and severity of extreme events such as high rainfall, droughts, tropical cyclones, and storm surges are affecting the lives and livelihoods of people in PICs. Coupled with non-climate drivers, such as inappropriate land use, overexploitation of resources, increasing urbanization and population increase, development in the region is increasingly undermined. For the low lying atolls, the likely economic disruption from climate change pressures could be catastrophic, even to the extent of requiring population relocation to other islands or adding numbers to the Pacific diaspora, with the subsequent social and cultural disruption having unknown proportions. Failure to reduce vulnerability could also result in loss of opportunities to manage risks in the future when the impacts may be greater and time to consider options limited.
